JOIN THE TEAM!

Tuesday, April 29, 2008

No, the Etsy BeadWeavers are not putting on a Cole Porter musical number. Anything Goes is the theme for the June challenge, chosen by Wolf (DantesSpirit) after she won the Fire and Flowers challenge.

We've had some pretty challenging themes over the past few months: Stormy Weather (March), Fire and Flowers (April), and some of our members are still working on their designs for the Food Chain challenge for May. (Be sure to visit the EBW blog between May 7 and May 14 to vote for your favorite entry.)

The requirements for the Anything Goes challenge are a bit different than usual.- Your entry should be what you consider your BEST piece.- Your entry may be any theme, any style, any technique.- Your entry, as always, must be beadwoven.- Your entry must be newly created (between now and the listing deadline, June 5) and newly listed during the period of the challenge theme (May 15 through June 5).- Only ONE entry per person!

About Etsy Beadweavers

Etsy Beadweavers is a group of beaders who market their creations on Etsy.com. The Beadweavers' creations are different from many of the traditional beaded items, in that they are woven from hundreds or thousands of tiny beads to create intricate designs and pictures. These weavings take the form of both art and jewelry. Each piece takes many hours to complete, with some larger pieces taking weeks or even months.

This blog is devoted to the creations of this group of talented artisans.
